The always awesome Jessica Hopper, writer and author of The Girls’ Guide to Rocking, has confirmed via Twitter that Cap’n Jazz — the influential early-90s group formed by Tim and Mike Kinsella — will officially reunite this year. The band already played one show earlier this year as part of Joan of Arc’s Don’t Mind Control Variety Show, but the “official” reunion tour begins July 17 at Chicago’s Bottom Lounge.

UPDATE: Jade Tree has also confirmed the reunion. The band’s anthology album, Analphabetapolothology, will be reissued on vinyl for the first time on June 15. Packaged in a deluxe gatefold jacket, the reissue will include bonus material, including new photos, fliers, and liner notes by Tim Kinsella.
